Abstracts for next week

As you move towards focusing on your Methods, you can limit abstracts to two per week. They should be more detailed and significant towards your research. You may read 8 articles that do not help you....do not write abstracts for them. Only report the research that will be helpful.

METHODS -

As you finish your rough draft of the introduction you should begin to focus on the METHODS. A rough draft of the METHODS section is NOT DUE on the 23rd. Your experimental design (methods) should be finished around the end of the 1st trimester. Your Literature Review covers these two topics: Introduction & Methods.

DUE SEPTEMBER 23rd. Rough draft of Introduction and attempt to contact two mentors.
